Steve Jobs Action Figure Gets Trashed
As a cultural icon, it’s no surprise that companies would seek to “immortalize” Steve Jobs by creating products in his image. One company released an eerily realistic Steve Jobs “Action Figure”… and was quickly shot down by Apple. Continue reading
How Steve Jobs Drove a Car Without a License Plate

Breaking: Circuit City Liquidated, 35,000 Jobs Lost
MSNBC is reporting that Circuit City is done. Reports are saying that over 35,000 people will be out of a job by the time the entire company is liquidated. There’s not really any more information other than that and I’m not seeing this on other major news sites. Stay tuned if there’s mind-blowing information to be had. Otherwise, you heard it here (after MSNBC of course). Link
18-year-old Responsible For False Jobs Rumor
Steve Jobs is dead. Steve Jobs is not dead. Steve Jobs is sick. Steve Jobs is not sick. I’m sick of this shit. Clearly, Steve Jobs is immortal and all this news of his demise is a load of cow dung. Who makes this crap up anyway? The SEC tracked down the little bastard responsible, who just so happens to be an 18-year-old kid with nothing better to do.

Steve Jobs and The Search For A New Look
Jim Lynch over at Extreme Tech wrote a funny post we just couldn’t ignore. Almost the entire column goes over how much Steve Jobs is in dire need of a wardrobe intervention.

Anything but those horrid workout clothes you’re always sporting. What would you want to see Steve in? Pierre Cardin? BOSS? Link
NeXT! The First Web Server
Found on Wikipedia, this image is (purportedly) the first web server on the World Wide Web. It’s an old NeXTCube machine that Tim Berners-Lee used at the CERN lab in Geneva, Switzerland. In case you weren’t aware, our handsome publisher, Steve Rufer, is also from Geneva. So in honor of Steve Jobs and our dignity, we’re going to beg him to break into the Microcosm museum and steal it for us. We want to destroy the computer that became catalyst... Continue reading
Apple Worm: New Patent Reveals iPod Classic To Get Jazzed Up With Touch And Lights
The iPod Touch is great for people who want an iPhone-like interface, but what about those of us who love the original “iPod Classic” look and feel, but want some sort of modern advancement? Jobs and Co. are on it, with a recently revealed patent showing a revamp of the scroll wheel system. The scroll wheel thankfully remains present in the patent, though takes a lesson from its touchy-feely counterparts, integrating a touch pad which provides a visual feedback with... Continue reading
Apple’s Pride: Special Page Displays All 300+ Leopard Innovations
With some official Leopard info just fresh off the wire, Apple is understandably excited about their upcoming OS. They’re so excited, they deemed it necessary to build an entire page built around the greatness of the new Leopard operating system. Featured on the page is all 300+ innovations that Leopard brings to the table as the first official OS upgrade since OS X.
